I don't remember blaming cats all man made environmental catastrophes, but whatever.

Cats don't always show you what they kill. I had a roommate that kept letting my cats out. Never saw them kill anything. Then my neighbor told me about how they were little murder machines while I was out at work. Tried taking out a whole near of baby birds.
A trans person who hasn't fully admitted to others (or perhaps even to themselves) that they're trans.
I didnt say genetically compatible. Domesticated cats are nearly genetically indistinguishable from African wild cats. Genetic studies are difficult because cat species are so similar. In fact, several cat species including the house cats have been argued by geneticists to actually be subspecies of the same species.

This is truly not the same for dogs or any other domesticated species... Except maybe the pidgeon. I could see a similar argument for some pidgeons. Not the tumblers.
Cats ate not native to north america. They're descendants of African wild (and sometimes Eurasian wild) cats. Return them to wild habitats, not just feral colonies, and the feral cats fit right in. They are nearly indistinguishable from their wild counterparts and don't struggle any more or less than them. That's the difference between cats and other domesticated species. Domestication is a genetic change. But, if the genetic differences from their wild counterparts are so minimal, how domesticated are they really?
Cats are barely domesticated. What that essentially means is that cats, if placed in a wild colony, will thrive and blend right in. This is not true for other domesticated species. Research also indicates cats domesticated themselves more than people did. They found mice in grain silos and warm beds in peoples houses and fit right in without needing to adapt.
I don't think humans are robbing cats of their freedom and anyone asserting so really doesn't understand cats.
I don't have a study on this, just a degree in analytical chemistry, but the cold and lack of liquid is probably going to make the plastic more stable and less likely to leech into your food.
This is more what I mean. This is beyond people not caring and not voting. This is normally liberal institutions supporting genocide and silencing dissent. It's just a whole other level.
Why does it feel like everyone is falling in line for this genocide? History will not look back kindly on the way the world watched as this happened. At least (and this isn't much of an excuse) other genocides werent on the news every day as our leaders and institutions sat by and silenced any dissent.
Not super common or super niche. I use R. And it completely made up code a year ago. Sometimes I still does, but less. And when I ask it for citations it can make shit up too. I really stand by the assertion that it needs a lot of babysitting.
But, between it getting better and me getting better at asking and some patience, I get what I want. But, it does require a lot of fine tuning and patience. But its still just faster than googling. And I could see the argument that the models haven't improved but that they just have access to search engines now and that I'm mostly using them and a search engine. And sometimes they're so whacked out I'll ask them to search for something but theyll tell me they don't have access to the internet and they're so absolutely convinced of that that I have to close that chat and start a new one.
If you feed it in documentation or ask it to search for its answers in substack (or really just whatever search constraints you want) and then tell it to give you the links it used, you might have a better time. This forces it to look up an answer instead of hallucinate one. And when it gives me code, more complicated things usually fail pretty hard at first and I have to feed it the error output for a few rounds and guide it a lot.
I don't know what to tell you. I have them successfully compiling tables of search outputs to compare different things for method development and generating code, saving me hours of work each week. It all needs to be checked, but the comparison comes with links and the code is proofread and benchmarked. For most of what I do it's really just a jacked up search engine, but it's able to scan webpages faster than me and that saves a lot of time.
As a hobby, I also have it reading old documents that are almost illegible and transcribing them pretty well.
I really don't know what you're doing that you're just getting nonsense. I'm not.
It very well could be true. But I also don't really think you've been able to watch your cat every moment of his outdoor life to know he literally never goes anywhere and has never killed anything. My cats are indoor only in a tiny apartment and I frequently can't figure out where they are, even when I worked from home.
